recreating & creating outside to discover who we are inside
Purpose of ORCA CampsOutdoor Recreation Creation & Adventure (ORCA) Camps strive to keep youth outside, exploring, and learning. It is the philosophy of the program that young people thrive when they are given opportunities to try new skills in supported environments with adults serving as positive role models. ORCA Camps provide topic-specific enrichment opportunities for youth of various ages and abilities. At the culmination of each ORCA Camp, participants should have a better understanding of the given topic, formed positive relationships with peers and adults, and met the specific goals of each ORCA Camp.

risk philosophyORCA Camps facilitate moderately risky activities for youth. We have staff with various certifications to support programming and frequently partner with other high-quality organizations to provide safe and enriching experiences for youth. PMC Youth Programs implemented a Risk Assessment & Planning Team in the fall of 2024 to help define risk goals, priorities, and design Risk Assessment Management Plans (RAMPs) for all ORCA Camps.
More information about the newly created PMC Youth Programs Risk Assessment Planning Team coming soon. |
